CAMTRI´S Assistance Program

(English)

What is the CAMTRI´S Assistance Program?
The CAMTRI´S Assistance Program is focused in supporting the attendance of triathletes from different countries of the American continent to participate in the Continental Cups and who might have a chance to qualify for TOKIO 2020. This has become a reality thanks to the support of the countries organizing CAMTRI events as part of the prize money is used to help 5 triathletes with accommodation, food, plane ticket and transfers.

Who can participate?
In order to be able to participate in this program, CAMTRI sent all the National Federations (NFs) the list of athletes with the possibility of being supported. Additionally, each NF could propose some outstanding athletes in case of any cancellation. In the event that a Federation had several athletes on the list, the NF could only requested support for 2 athletes for the same competition and a maximum number of 3 competitions for the same athlete. In 2017 there will be 7 competitions that will participate in this Assistance Program.

Who may not participate?
Developed countries that have reached the top level in the ITU classification table may not participate in the Assistance Program.
Which athletes have been previously selected by CAMTRI?
CAMTRI made a list of the best athletes born between 1992 and 1998 from countries with the possibility of receiving support by analyzing their performance in different international competitions in which they had previously participated.

Once we received the requests for participation within the indicated time period, athletes were distributed in the different competitions so that everyone included in the list could participate in this season at least in one competition by receiving such support.
